Me & Indy outside of Baker City, Oregon. Those are the Elkhorn Mountains. This was taken in November '11. -Sarah JoAnn Smith

On the back of my retired event horse, Captain Ahab, is where I find sanity in a crazy world. - Kimberly Lennon

Not the green fields we'd both prefer to be loping through (so we've no dreams of being selected as the cover), but the sandy soils of Moorpark, California's extensive Happy Camp Regional Park do make for year-round riding, and several long sections (just before this one, for instance) are quiet and soft enough to let the horses stretch out a bit. -Sheila Dent

Early morning rides make for great "ears" pictures and the perfect way to start a day! -Jamie McLain

Does this count? The view from the seat of my Hyperbike cart while looking through the ears of my miniature horse. — at Elijah Bristow State Park. -Kellie Rahm

Stupid Mosquitoes! IceCube likes to trail ride, but the mosquitoes are awful in Florida. -Kimberly Frizzell Thomas

This was a sunrise ride with my sweet Gretta before she got injured and subsequently had to be put down. I miss these moments... -Marcie Mott
